Full Plot Details

In San Francisco, there are at least two flocks of largely wild parrots who flock around the city. This film focuses on the flock of cherry-headed conures (and a lonely blue-headed one named Connor) who flock around the Telegraph Hill region of the city and their closest human companion, Mark Bittner . Through his own words, we learn of his life as a frustrated, homeless musician and how he came to live in the area where he decided to explore the nature around him. That lead him to discovering the parrot flock and the individual personalities of it. In a cinematic portrait, we are introduced to his colorful companions and the relationship they share as well as the realities of urban wild life that would change Bittner's life forever.

Movie Reviews

Groucho Reviews - 10/10 by Peter CanaveseThe gentle, G-rated documentary The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill records the sort of story that used to simply pass into urban legend.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 10/10 by Mark R. LeeperIt shows how strong and involving a documentary can be about a subject that may sound only of marginal interest.
culturevulture.net - 10/10 by Arthur LazereThe birds...are a natural subject for a documentary film, but in the end Judy Irving's film is as much or more about Mark Bittner, a self-appointed guardian of the flock, than it is about the birds themselves.
Sly Fox - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA documentary which captures an eccentric ornithologist communing with his flock with an intimacy that's almost unimaginable.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 10/10 by Dorothy WoodendFirst penguins, now parrots: who would have thought that the bird-brained would have so much to teach us about humanity?
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Kerry LengelWhat might have been a static portrait has become a true story, with tragic turns, joyful surprises and provocative glimpses into the meaning of life.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Robert K. ElderThe kind of well-crafted, character-driven work that wows regional film festival crowds and public television audiences but seldom gets seen outside those circles.
Boston Herald - 9/10 by James VerniereIf you've ever felt like a blue-crowned conure in a world full of cherry-heads -- and who hasn't? -- these wild parrots are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisJudy Irving's terrific documentary 'The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is ostensibly about birds, but only in the way that a game of Scrabble is about tiles.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumIn watching the birds and the man with an affectionate, curious eye, the filmmaker builds a story of surprising emotional resonance.
